The Waterfall Catering and Special Events

The cocktail hour was amazing! We had a fabulous night and all of the guests did too! I would absolutely recommend.

pro -shoutout to Dan who saved my wedding by allowing us to borrow things the venue had already -large selection of cocktail hour food -beautiful venue -the owner cons -the owner was kind and helpful but the staff was not so much. my day of coordinator and event specialist did not give a lot of feedback nor did they seem to be very organized. our event specialist was rude at times when we didn’t know how to do things for the event or didn’t have the answers to questions they had asked. i obviously don’t plan events on a daily basis so I didn’t know how to do things liek place settings and table arrangements. -there were 2 bar tenders for a 250 person wedding, which definitely overwhelmed the bartenders and annoyed my guests. my guests who then in turn were anxious and annoying to the bartenders. I honestly felt bad bc they were doing the best they could and I had to remind my guests to be courteous so not their fault but the outside and inside bars could’ve been opened to avoid this. -the reception felt chaotic and things should have been planned and we should’ve been informed about things beforehand such as the bridal suite. bride wasn’t provided the lock before hand and when my bridesmaid asked for it while I was busy, she was finally given it but then not told where to go. -the appetizers I chose and the food that was served were different. they ask you to chose in advance but ended up providing different food -their package includes a “free cake” ours was terrible and ugly, I would’ve rather paid for it. the cake was dry and they seemed to have a junior artist do it which could have been fine but it was such a poorly done job. I did receive my refund for the cake design I paid for which was not included

We had our wedding reception on 8/6/22 and we could not have been happier with choosing the Waterfall! All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue is and how incredible and abundant the food was. We worked with both Diandra and Abigail who were so kind and helpful and made sure our day was perfect. Everyone we met and worked with at the Waterfall, from the owner, the manager, our maitre d', and the caterers, were all so professional and gracious and truly made our experience so pleasurable and special. I highly recommend getting married at the Waterfall!!

My husband and I got married last Saturday and The Waterfall was awesome. We had 250 guests and we have not stopped hearing from them about how amazing our wedding was. They have specifically noted how great (and plentiful) the food was and how pleasant the staff was. We had a church ceremony and then only the cocktail hour and reception here. The coordinator and managers were so enthusiastic about making sure every detail we wanted came to fruition - we were not that particular but they kept asking more and more questions to ensure the day was personal for us which was above and beyond what we expected. Highly reccommend. Now we just need to be invited as guests to experience that side of it :)

The Waterfall provided us with best wedding day experience I could ever imagine! The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff is top notch. We have to give huge recognition to Samantha for all she did to make our special day come to life. She stayed in communication with our coordinator and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you so much Sam and Marcus the owner!!!

The Waterfall went above and beyond to make our day a memorable event. From the fantastic staff to the amazing food, there is not one thing we would have changed for our wedding. My bridal attendant had everything we needed for the little hiccups we had while we were getting dressed, and our event specialist ensured that the timeline of the evening ran smoothly from our walk down the aisle to the end of the night. I would highly recommend The Waterfall for your wedding venue!

The Waterfall delivered and we could not be happier. Every minor details and all the small things were on their radar and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was beyond plentiful and amazing. Our guests are raving about it a week later. Most important to making the day work is the quality of the staff and their due diligence. In this regard as well, we have no complaints. Their captains and managers made sure everything ran like clockwork. A flawless team provided us a flawless day and we couldn't be happier. Rest assured that booking with the The Waterfall is a safe bet.

First let me start off by saying...The Waterfall is definitely the place you want to have your wedding & reception! From beginning to end, everything was tasteful, on-point and the customer service we experienced was awesome! Jessica was my daughter's event specialist and she was very attentive, accommodating and personable. She provided us with great ideas and delivered on all our wants/needs as well. From the wedding ceremony outside, cocktail hour followed by the dinner reception, words cannot express how beautiful everything was. Our decorations accompanied by the borrowed items from the venue made the Cascade Room look absolutely amazing. I loved it because the back lighting in the room we chose was purple which coincided with the grey/silver & purple themed wedding. My daughter's wedding attendant Sam, was so great! She attended to my daughter's every need and was so pleasant in doing so. She made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. We were also so surprised by the stunning flower tribute to my daughter. What a lovely touch! The wait staff and bar staff were wonderful. There were no complaints at all throughout the entire evening, only praise for the magnificent job the entire staff rendered our guests. In closing, I cannot end without talking about the FOOD! The many cocktail stations, butlered hors d'oeuvres, sit-down dinner, dessert stations and to-go items were just delicious and plentiful. I imagined my daughter's wedding to be a ravishing and a lovely event, and YOU made it come true! Thanks again for everything and I won't hesitate to return to The Waterfall for another event.

The waterfall definitely over promised and under delivered. During the consultation meeting we were promised an incredible experience, every concern we had was met with a solution. However, that was not the case on the day of. We were told despite there being another wedding, we wouldn’t even know they were there. Things were supposed to be timed so we didn’t even see each other. But we were practically on top of each other. Both in the cocktail hour and in the bridal suite. Guests were confused about where to go and the parties were so mixed, we have several strangers who signed our guestbook. The appetizers were great, but dinner was definitely subpar. Served very late and several of the meals were cold and under cooked, including the bride and grooms. Because dinner was served very late we were only left with about 2 hours of fun and dancing. When speaking with the owner, he was rude and unhelpful. In hindsight, I would have 100% selected another venue. For the amount paid, the service should have been much better.

The Waterfall was absolutely amazing! We can't say enough about the service, staff and food, it is top of the line! The staff went above and beyond and the food was delicious (our guests raved about the food) Diandra is the best, she made our wedding day so special and we couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! I highly recommend this venue for any event!

The overall day of the wedding was perfect. The captured my vision of how i wanted things perfectly. The weather was perfect. We would have liked to tasted the cake when it was cut. The food that we did taste was very tasty. Staffing was very sweet and very helpful.

After I got engaged, my husband and I started to look for venues and the one that REALLY helped us was looking at reviews from other couples. I am not someone who normally writes reviews, but after our AMAZING experience with The Waterfall, I hope other couples can read this and feel at ease to pick this incredible venue. First of all, the venue is absolutely beautiful and in the most pristine condition. In fact, I remember walking in the first time and just smelling the cleanliess of the facility. Everything is beautiful in there, especially the decor. Our main contact was Ashley and she did a wonderful job answering all our questions. Any time I'd call or send an email, she was very prompt at responding and would ask the owners for further clarification if there was something she couldn't answer for us on the spot. One of the most important things to me and my husband for our guests to experience was amazing food and plentiful amounts of it - this place does that justice and then some. I am Lebanese, so being that our culture is so generous, this venue did not disappoint. All of our guests raved about the cocktail hour. I was in awe at how they decorated the entire room and the outside was INCREDIBLE!!!!! We were in the cascade ballroom and so we had access to the outdoor area with the waterfalls and fire pits. Words and pictures cannot do this outdoor space justice. I was so in love and our guests loved the outdoor bar area, the seating, and all the incredible features (ie. waterfall and fire). Some of our guests told us that they thought the cocktail hour was a buffet and so when they saw they were getting entrees, they were so full, they were barely able to eat their meals! The entrees was amazing - hot, delicious, and served right on time. The desserts were fanastic and I heard a lot of great feedback about the cheesecake. We had two people assisting us all night after Ashley left and I want to give them a special shout out, as well. Their names were Amanda and Anna. Anna was with us ALL night and we loved her so much. She truly made our experience magical and helped us with every little detail the night of the wedding. I hugged her so many times and didn't know how else to thank her for your support. This venue knows what they're doing and they do it very well. Their service was impeccable and many of our guests called and texted us to tell us they remembered some of their server's names and even left them tips. They were attentive and added a personal element to the night joking with our guests and complimenting them. We are so happy and wish we could relive the night over again. Planning a wedding can be very stressful and nerve wracking, especially living through this pandemic, but I will never regret choosing this venue. The hospitality and generousity from this venue is above and beyond and I would recommend The Waterfall to any couple looking into them right now. You will not regret it :) All my love to The Waterfall - I hope I get to go back again as a guest one day.

I gave 4 out 5 stars. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful! I am so thankful for Amanda, our wedding attendant, she was beyond incredible and did everything she could to make our day great! As the bride I have dietary restrictions, which were forgotten about for hors d’oeuvres. Thankfully I said something and they were able to accommodate. The wedding set up was not what I wanted and I was not allowed to go downstairs to do anything, which made me a little upset especially finding out my centerpieces weren’t filled with water for my floatable candles and the seating chart was not where I asked it to be. The food did run late which threw off some of the night. All in all the venue was gorgeous, but I just wish I could of taken part in making things exactly how I wanted!

The venue was gorgeous and the staff was awesome. We had the best day ever, beautiful weather with an outdoor ceremony. The cocktail hour had so much food the guests didnt realize there was a plated meal too. The guests enjoyed every minute and every detail butost of all the staff was awesome making our day special. I have to give a shout out to Ashley and Sam, as the bride I would not have stayed so poised without you. They both made it so effortless a we only had to worry about saying our vows and have fun.

There is literally nothing bad to say about this place! We booked because the price was right and what was included sounded amazing. Little did we know it would be every better! We had to reschedule 3 times due to covid, and they were nothing but accommodating! We dealt with Dan and Diandra and our wedding day, Anna was with us. All 3 were AMAZING! Every single guest said it was the best cocktail hour they have ever been to. The stations were unreal! I would 1000% recommend them as your wedding venue! If you are considering the Waterfall... book it!

We had our wedding here and it went great! Our wedding was originally scheduled for May 2020 but had to reschedule for 2021. Management was very good, and worked with us to reschedule. We were nervous about having our wedding with COVID but the venue took every precaution to make it comfortable/safe for everyone. Ashley was so helpful with every step we took, from menu accommodations to room light colors. Ashley made sure everything looked great on our day. Amanda was great as well! On our wedding day she made sure the event ran smoothly, from helping with the dress bustle to the cake cutting; she made sure we were enjoying every minute. The food was really good and the staff was friendly. We will definitely consider The Waterfall for future events and highly recommend it.

Our wedding at the Waterfall was amazing. I don't have one single complaint from that day. The staff was incredible - they were so happy, helpful, and friendly and always had smiles on their faces. They made our day even more special because they were by our side for whatever we needed the entire night. The food was outstanding. And there was So.Much.Food. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better...it got better! I am still getting compliments a month later and have been told numerous times by our guests that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and I owe a big chunk of that to the Waterfall. I highly recommend this place - trust me, they won't let you down!

The Waterfall was the PERFECT setting for the type of wedding we wanted to host. We wanted an elegant wedding that exuded our love for God, each other and family. Our wedding was held in the morning (10 a.m) at their outdoor ceremony area. Our reception was held in their Cascade Ballroom. The Waterfall operated according to DE state regulations for COVID-19 without taking away from the integrity of the event. Everything was beautiful and excellently executed. My husband and I really enjoyed our day (stress free) and our guests have shared how much they enjoyed themselves and the food as well. I was a DIY bride who coordinated my wedding up until I arrived at the venue on my wedding day. The staff demonstrated the ability to execute my wedding vision flawlessly and with excellence. Dan, the manager, worked with us throughout our planning, including the modifications that had to take place due to COVID-19. Adriana was our on-site coordinator but the entire team was helpful and able to answer our questions when needed. Amanda was my wedding attendant who served me well on my wedding day. If it’s within your means, I would definitely recommend The Waterfall for a perfect start to your new beginning. ❤️❤️

my husband and i recently had a wedding at the waterfall and our experience there was beyond our expectations. The staff were amazing beyond what we expected. Working with Adriana was also a good experience given the situation with Covid 19, they worked with us in planning the ceremony and reception in a way that our guests will feel safe. They also worked well with us when we were paying for the wedding during covid like in March. I am so glad we picked the venue; our guests also enjoyed everything in terms of food/drinks. We had nothing but great feedback from all of them. If you are looking for a venue which is extremely beautiful and with staff with great customer service , this is for you.

Everything was perfect. The whole staff was on point, my bridal attendant was AMAZING !!!!!! If you plan to have an amazing wedding where no stone is left unturned it’s the THE WATERFALL or nothing 😘🥰😍. FOREVER GRATEFUL!

I can’t say enough good things about The Waterfall! Getting married in the middle of a pandemic was stressful in itself, but the staff made my big day perfect. Our coordinator Adriana and the manager Dan were extremely helpful in getting everything in order and were a pleasure to work with. Anna, Deneen, and Laura insured that the wedding moved seamlessly and were very attentive. I wish I could relive the entire day! The food, the venue, the ceremony space, the staff, and everything in between makes The Waterfall the best choice to have your event. We’ve had several guests saying that our wedding was the best wedding they’ve been to, and The Waterfall is a big part of that. Thank you all for making my wedding a magical occasion!

Getting married in the middle of a pandemic was made easy due to the amazing staff at The Waterfall! In particular Dan and Diandra. These two went above and beyond from the minute I first contacted them, answered my one million emails so promptly, professionally and with such kindness. I can never thank them enough! I cannot say enough how incredibly happy my husband and I are with this venue. Not only was it beautiful, amazing food and perfect for our big day, but the overall experience with Dan, Diandra and Amanda made it better than I ever could have imagined. Thank you so much! You all are so great at what you do!

Everyone at The Watferfall was so nice and helpful with planning our wedding (and re-planning due to COVID-19). I couldn't have asked for a better staff.

Where to I even begin? My husband and I chose The Waterfall for our November 2019 wedding and were absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Everything was absolutely amazing. Some of the things we heard from our guests later in the night included: “You ruined all other weddings for us.”, “Nothing is going to top this! “I can’t have a wedding anymore because it will not compare to yours. I am eloping.” It was an absolute pleasure working with Nicoleta in the months, weeks and days leading up to the wedding. She was incredibly responsive and addressed any and all questions that came up. I had a lot of my own decor I was providing for the wedding and was a little anxious about it being set up how I would like. I did provide photos and instructions with said decor, but I cannot tell you what an amazing job they did with set up! I remember in the moments leading up to my walking down the aisle all I kept doing was gushing over how they set up the decor - "Oh my gosh! I love how they did that! Everything looks so great!" From the moment our limo pulled up, to the very end of the night everything was handled so professionally. I can't speak for my husband, but I know I felt like a princess! Our bridal attendant Gina was outstanding. She ensured we always had a drink our hand, and she went over and above by helping my husband sew a button back onto his suit jacket and hunting down a Tide pen to get chocolate out of my dress! The rest of our staff was outstanding as well taking special care of the tables where our immediate family was seated, and when the wedding occurring in the other ballroom got too rowdy, they were quick to work with the rest of the staff to get things under control so the issues next door didn't affect our day in any way. The food and drink seemed to be never ending - EVERYTHING was delicious! Although I didn't get to enjoy as much as I liked our guests RAVED about the food. I could go on and on... but instead of rambling let me put it this way: if you are looking for a top notch venue, look no further. The Waterfall will not disappoint!

If you want a wedding venue that KNOWS what they're doing-look no further than the Waterfall. They are top notch when it comes to executing your perfect wedding. From the timeline, operations, making sure you're fed, food, and elegant scenery-they ensure that every detail is accounted for. I live out of state so having them specialize in weddings made my planning process a lot less stressful since I'm not from the area. Jessy was amazing!- she has a very relaxed and calm demeanor which helps to balance out the craziness that every bride feels prior to their wedding. They do a great job at being accommodating yet are still knowledgeable enough to know what may or may not work. Even though they run like a well-oiled machine, they still made me feel so important as a bride and were so very attentive to my needs. You can tell that service is an extremely big deal to them and it shows. Plus, our guests are still talking about it so for us it definitely means that it was money well spent. This was definitely the best decision, our wedding was everything and more!

Absolutely unbelievable!!!!! everything was amazing and more! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the day. The staff was amazing! They made sure my husband and I were fed and had drinks all night long. All the guests were RAVING about all the food and how amazing it was! We are so happy with our decision and highly recommend the waterfall for anyone!!! You will not regret it!!!

It was our pleasure to get married at this wonderful venue. This place has one main goal, and that is to host an amazing wedding. To be honest, even with their most basic package, you are guaranteed to have guests commenting weeks after your wedding about the beautiful courtyard, the delicious food, and the great service. Our contact person and day of coordinator, Jessica, was a joy to work with the days leading up to and the day of our wedding. She helped to make sure that the day of went as smoothly as possible. Brandon, our matre D, and Amanda, our bridal attendant, were amazing, especially Amanda. We had trouble gathering all the family members after the ceremony for pictures, and Amanda stepped up without hesitation and without necessarily knowing all of our family members, and tracked them all down. She was truly amazing, she did everything we asked of her, and never left our side the entire night. We would give The Waterfall a 5/5 but there were a couple things that we wish could have gone better. There was a surprise that the staff at The Waterfall prepared for us, but there was some miscommunication between them and our DJ which created confusion and an awkward moment during the reception. If there were better communication, that was something that likely could have been avoided. Additionally, during wedding planning, there was a change in staff, specifically our main contact person and would-be day of coordinator. Jessica was our new coordinator and she was great, however we weren't notified of the change in staff. It wasn't until we had contacted them that we were informed of the switch. Attention to that detail would have been appreciated. These were the main issues that brought our rating to a 4, however, all of our guests were very impressed. They left the wedding very satisfied with their time at our venue. Despite our setbacks, we would still recommend the waterfall as a venue for your future wedding.

Absolutely wonderful!!! My husband and I got married September 8th, 2019 and my wedding day felt like the fairytale I dreamed it would be! The staff was wonderful and attentive throughout the night and coordinated everything down to the last detail! My guests are still talking about how amazing the food was and that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! The dessert stations blew me away and were amazing! They are very accommodating and our wedding coordinator Nicoleta was beyond amazing! So sweet and caring and always got right back to us with any questions we had! This venue is well worth the money for everything to be so great! The staff is so kind and really do everything and more to make your wedding day so special!

I recently got married at The Waterfall on a Thursday (like many venues, it’s l more affordable on weekdays). We worked with Jessica from beginning to end and she was amazing! Very responsive and accommodating to all of our requests. She was patient, transparent and the ultimate professional. She was actually getting married during the time of our planning and I never noticed a gap in service. I would definitely recommend her to family/friends and would request her for future events should I host them there. The Waterfall itself is a beautiful venue for couples in the tristate area and beyond. It’s immaculately clean, the decor is high end, and the waterfalls throughout are the perfect touch. We held our ceremony outside and held the reception in the Cascade ballroom which is the more modern, chic, and elegant option (in my opinion) but the other ballroom is just as beautiful and is perfect for more traditional/customary weddings. The outdoor grounds were freshly landscaped, and during rehearsal the day before, Jessica helped the wedding party get in order and chimed in or made recommendations when needed. (It is a long walk from the building to the outdoor ceremony platform so be prepared!) We were able to have a first look of the reception ballroom during cocktail hour before any guests entered and although we didn’t need to change a thing, I appreciated the courtesy. The wedding party was also accommodated in a bridal suite stocked with food and drinks hours before the wedding started. We luckily didn’t have to share the venue that day with another party so the men and women were able to be separate and out of guests view. Besides Jessica, we also had a bridal suite attendant (whose name escapes me, sorry!) but she kept us on point with timing and made sure the room remained stocked and comfortable. Our wedding was perfect, the food was delicious and the staff were so professional. Our guests are still complimenting us on how elegant and classic the wedding was and we honestly could not have pulled it off without the staff!

The Waterfall was amazing. From day one they made my entire wedding experience phenomenal. My assigned Event Specialist was Jessy Moran. She handled everything so seamlessly from start to finish. She was available at anytime to help me plan and coordinate our special day. She reminded me of small details brides often forget. She was open to my desires and made plenty of helpful suggestion. On the day of our wedding, she was always near by when I needed her. She handled every “day-of hiccup” professionally and effectively. Even when my DJ didn’t show up (crazy right!?), Jessy made sure we had music and were able to start the ceremony as planned until the back-up DJ arrived in time for the reception. I never even had time to worry, because Jessy handled everything. Also, the food was delicious from what I heard lol (I barely ate) and the entire staff was great. I highly recommended this venue and Event Specialist, Jessy.

My wedding was 09/07/2019. From the day I walked into the waterfall I fell in love! My wedding coordinator Nicoleta was phenomenal, I can’t say enough great things about her. Any question I had she answered, she was patient and kind, she made sure each detail at my wedding was complete and to my standards. My bridal attendant Amanda, she was one of the kindest people I’ve encountered, my family can be a little rough sometimes, and she ensured that I was calm and had everything I needed. When I was stressed she made sure to do everything to calm me! I am so thankful for her! This venue is breathtaking! Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to each one of you! Everyone raved about the food and how fantastic everything turned out! Thank you for making my wedding day EVERYTHING I dreamed of!

Let me start off by saying what an AMAZING venue!!! My daughter’s wedding was held at The Waterfall on September 1, 2019. We knew we were going to be in good hands from the very first meeting with our Event Specialist Nicoleta. She did a superb job and was so great to work with. She was so accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Every question we had she answered right away. This venue is beyond beautiful!! The food is delicious and they give you so many options to choose from so you can tailor a menu that is perfect for your event. The cocktail hour is outstanding and my guest could not stop raving about the dessert bar. Everything exceeded my expectations!!!! My daughter’s ceremony was held at the venue and the outside ceremony space is breathtaking. Everything from the ceremony space, the grand ballroom and bridal suite is top notch and beautifully decorated. My guest absolutely loved the venue and the food!!! The staff was wonderful and so attentive. A special thank you to Mike, Deneen and Amanda who served as our Maitre D, Captain and Bridal Attendant for the evening. They were excellent!!!! I highly recommend The Waterfall. If you are looking for an all-inclusive venue for your wedding or any other special occasion you need to check out The Waterfall. You will not be disappointed!!!! Thanks so much to the staff at The Waterfall. You guys did a phenomenal job!!!! Her speech said it all when she thanked her parents for giving them the wedding of their dreams!!!!!

My husband and I got married at The Waterfall on Aug 2, 2019. The entire staff is absolutely amazing and so accommodating. We worked very closely with Jessy (& sometimes Jessica) and they were both so professional and organized! Our wedding day was so well organized and ran so smoothly because of their amazing staff. They truly made us feel so special and made sure our day into the night was nothing short of perfection. All of our guests were so “WOW’d” by The Waterfall. From the outside garden, cocktail space, to the gorgeous cascade ballroom, & most important: the drinks and endless food!!! we cannot thank the staff at The Waterfall enough for making our wedding day perfect!

DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE - My fiance and I are from Washington, DC and despite our love for our home city, we decided to venture into Delaware and stumbled upon The Waterfall. From first glance, this place has amazing features including the picturesque outdoor ceremony space and the luxurious ballrooms. Additionally, The waterfall includes catering and bar options, which were a plus for us. DAY OF THE WEDDING - everything that could've went wrong, DID! The picturesque outdoor ceremony space, was infested with bugs severely! I literally walked down the aisle and had to fight to hold my composure while being attacked by gnats, flies and mosquitoes. My husband, bridesmaids, groomsmen and the reverend who were already placed before I walked down the aisle were MORTIFIED. Does The Waterfall deliberately not pre-treat the outdoor areas for insects? Next, The Waterfall gets it's name from it's many waterfalls, correct? None were turned on during any portion of my wedding day and they refused to turn them on despite my husband's request. Moving on... we deliberately asked for mauve- colored napkins on the tables during the reception, The Waterfall decided on PINK. Not only that, we gave The Waterfall a seating chart, including tables with ONLY CHILDREN AND THEY SERVED THOSE TABLES WITH CHAMPAGNE DESPITE OUR CLEAR OUTLINE THAT THE TABLE CONSISTED OF UNDERAGE CHILDREN! Really? My fiance and I were robbed of our food! We were plated and then when got up to mingle for less than 15 minutes are plates were gone almost instantaneously. Finally, HERE IS THE KICKER. The Floor Manager or "Maitre D" was extremely hostile with my wedding planner, the ENTIRE NIGHT. Not only did she ruin what was supposed to be our FIRST DANCE, by grabbling our arms tightly, pulling us to tell us she had a surprise, while our first dance music was wasting away without us on the dance floor....she unprofessionally demanded in so many words that it didn't matter what we had planned because this was HER facility! I was IRATE! Not only is the most unprofessional establishment I've ever encountered, the staff are unsavory and hostile and I would never recommend for anyone to spend $20,000 for FILTH. The WATERFALL, you have ruined what was supposed to be one of the best days of our lives, but thanks to an amazing Wedding Planner and support team, I was able to focus on everything positive outside of the horrible decision for my venue choice.

My daughter's wedding was on 6/7/19. Everything about this venue is top of the line. Jessica worked with us through the planning process and was always available for questions and answered emails the same day they were sent. The taste testing was as if we had our own little celebration and the staff were all so professional and helpful. There aren't enough words to express how amazing the wedding day was. Our wedding coordinator, Amanda, was so much fun to be with. She made sure the bridal suite was equipped with whatever we needed and she had as much fun as we did. The cocktail hour is an event all its own, and the staff had a surprise for the wedding couple I will not divulge. Our guests are still talking about this venue and that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. You can't get a better compliment than that. All a parent wants is to have their child's wedding day be all they dreamed it could be and the Waterfall made her dreams come true.

Our wedding was on 7/18/2019 and it was amazing. Being a same sex couple you hope to find a place that will treat you just like everyone else because you love like everyone else and that is what they did. Our day was nothing short of amazing. No fault of The Waterfall we could not have our ceremony outside but that was due to the heat wave. It did not stop them from making sure we had an the time of our life. Everything was beautiful. The guest were extremely satisfied with the food. The FOOD was out of the world amazing and better than anything we discussed. We loved our day and the staff was top notch. It felt like we had a million dollar wedding. The Waterfall is highly recommended for any couple looking to display their love at the highest level.

Our wedding was on June 22, 2019 and I would pick this venue over and over again without hesitation. From the very beginning all the staff there was so extremely nice and always available to help answer any questions or concerns we had. Jessica is absolutely amazing and was the biggest blessing to have her as our Coordinator! Our guests to this day still tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to! The amount food is out of this world! There is absolutely something for everyone! We can't thank the entire staff there enough for making our day so beautiful and so perfect!

The staff at the Waterfall catered to all of our wants and needs to create the most unforgettable of our lives. We couldn’t be happier with their service. Not only was the service impeccable but the venue, grounds, and food were top notch. If we could relive this day everyday, it would always take place there.

We had our wedding here this past Friday and I can not say enough great things about the venue and the staff! They were phenomenal! Whatever we needed they were right there accommodating everything. The ceremony site is beautiful and everyone at the wedding has been raving about it. Thank you to everyone involved with our wedding! It truly was perfect!

I had my wedding at the Waterfall on June 2nd, and it was absolutely amazing! The entire staff went above, and beyond to make every moment so special! Especially our event coordinator Jessy, and our bridal attendant Amanda. We had our ceremony outside, and the beautiful flowers, and greenery made for amazing photos. Our guests were blown away with all of the appetizer, and dessert stations. We couldn't have picked a better place to spend our special day.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at The Waterfall. From the very moment I walked in for a visit, I knew this was the place I would have my wedding. They always made me feel like a priority and were willing to work with all of my ideas to make my wedding perfect. Nicoleta, my event specialist, was amazing and truly felt like a friend by the time my wedding came around. Everything was set up just as I imagined and I brought in a lot of stuff! Everyone is still raving about all the food at my wedding and how amazing it was! Would highly recommend having your wedding here as it is so worth the price!

Medori/ Richter Wedding 5/10/19 The Waterfall is a beautiful Venue with beautifully landscaped grounds and gorgeous marble interior with glass fixtures and beautiful chandeliers. The venue is absolutely beautiful but the staff and food are amazing. The abundance of food is nothing like I ever seen before and taste delicious. All of the staff are there to help you from the minute you walk in till the time you leave! We never wanted for anything! The staff works like clockwork with smiles on there faces! There attention to details is impeccable. My guest left saying this was the best wedding they ever attended!

If I could give this place more stars I would! The staff was FANTASTIC! We loved working with Jessica, our planner. Everyone was so attentive to the needs of everyone involved in the wedding and they made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed and more during the event. They were so accommodating and so easy to work with. Never in my dreams could I have imagined a more beautiful wedding!! Everyone who we talked to said it was the best wedding they had ever been too 😊

Everything was amazing! From planning to the actual reception everything ran as smooth as possible. The entire staff at the waterfall was AMAZING!! Very helpful, informative, and flexible! The food was perfect and so was the great service (especially from the bridal attendant!!) thank you waterfall and staff!!! You made our night perfect!!!

I wish I could rate the waterfall higher than 5 stars. The venue, the staff, the food and just the overall treatment was first class. I was assigned a bridal attendant which showed me the most personal care and attention, from holding on to my lipstick, running to get me a drink, to taking photos of me on my phone. That was a very special touch that made me feel carefree that night. I truly felt that the waterfall went above and beyond in ensuring my day was a dream come true. My guests were satisfied, the food was delicious and hot. The dessert bar was such a big hit! I can’t say how happy we are about our whole experience. If you are debating whether or not to book them, do it! You will not be disappointed.

If anyone were to ask me of a venue I would recommend ... it would be the Waterfall. Our wedding took place on November 9th 2018 and I am still dreaming about how amazing it was, most of which is because of the Waterfall. I would easily rate their customer service a 10/10. The staff are some of the greatest people you will ever meet, the food is amazing as you have read below in other comments, but most importantly, how they make the Bride and Groom feel the day of the wedding is unforgettable. They make you feel like you are apart of the Waterfall family from the moment you walk in the door, and like royalty the day of your wedding. The location is beautiful beyond words, and the atmosphere makes you want to relive the day over and over! Anyone who has their wedding at the Waterfall will be over the moon happy with their decision. I highly recommend Matt (Day of Manager), Nicoleta (Coordinator), and Amanda (Bridal Attendent) for your big day!

Best venue in Delaware!!! Staff Superb Food hot and excellent Accommodating to all your bridal concerns and needs

Wow! What an amazing night we had. The Waterfall was amazing from start to finish. Jessica is the best event planner and truly nailed every detail. Marcus the owner out did himself and treated my family like royalty. My husband Matt and I had the best night ever and our guests raved about the venue, food, etc.! All of the staff were amazing, especially Amanda the bridal attendant. She was so sweet, very attentive, and right there any second I needed anything. Every staff member was extremely nice and made sure we were happy and listened to every step of the way. They nailed every detailed we discussed and I can not thank them enough. We truly had the best night!!!!! My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more!

This venue goes above and beyond to make your wedding night a dream come true!

We got married at the waterfall 10/6/18 and I'm so glad I listened to advice of others and took the time to actually look around to take it all in because his venue is gorgeous and truly were there for you every step of the way. Really breathtaking. I'm very type A and the coordinator (Jessica) was so chill along the way of the process and promised all the decor would look perfect --I honestly don't know how but that staff literally took the pictures out of my head and made it happen. THE FOOD. I can't even. It was BANGING top to bottom. I need someone to get married here just so i can eat there again...i swear...Their sushi was even amazing-- we had the sushi station and i was kind of thinking it would be supermarket sushi but IT WAS SO GOOD!!! LEGIT SUSHI. The staff were SO nice i can't even explain. They were there for you to ask if you were hungry, needed a drink, etc. At one point one of the guys, (now i forget his name) ,in the middle of an almost melt-down during the wedding, i asked him "Hey can you just get people out of my way so i can go upstairs because everyone keeps coming up to me!" He led the way like my own security guard. LIFE SAVER. OH. And the Bridal Attendant...OMG-I feel terrible cuz i can't remember anyone's name!!! BUT good lord. I feel like I need to invite this woman to Thanksgiving Dinner cuz' she was the real MVP ya'll. Then the matred'-Just as attentive and fabulous. I can't say enough great things about The Waterfall and honestly in the future, I want to have more events here. THANK YOU GUYS FOR EVERYTHING. You made my wedding the most gorgeous and best time of our lives! XOXO

My wedding was on 9/14/18 and as far as the food and the staff that day - all was great. My guests still rave about the food and how beautiful the venue was. However, in the 9 months leading up to the wedding we had 4 different event coordinators that we dealt with all with varying takes on things - but nonetheless the last one was pretty good and I was happy with the final ceremony and reception. With that said, there were several issues that arose after the fact. First and foremost, I have family members with extreme allergies - to which I spoke with every coordinator (all 4), the head chef (Neil), 1 of the owners (Marcus), as well as my Aunt called and spoke to the chef - at $150/head - I was guaranteed that the would have specialized meal and would be able to eat that night - Needless to say, the waitress looked at my Aunt and Cousin like they had 2 heads that night, said she would talk to the chef, NEVER came back to advise anything AND they NEVER received their meals. Then several items that night "disappeared" and were never returned to me - cameras on tables (of 15 put out only 4 were returned to us), we had a kids table with legos and crayons (none of that came back, not even the sign that was on the table), my champagne flutes were later found tossed in a random box, not even the box I brought them in, the mirrors that were under my centerpieces never came back, the baskets from the bathroom, and weirdest of all - I had flip flops out, so my friend left her shoes under a table and even they were never returned to us. I voiced my opinions starting when we got back from the honeymoon on 9/24/18, and the buck has been passed several times, received one call from Dan (general manager) back in mid-October, but now to date (11/6/18) NO ONE HAS done a final follow up. There was a time that i would have told every one I knew to go there, but now with the blatant ignorance of my feelings I would NEVER tell anyone to go there or use this venue. Feels like they got our $20,000 and my event is over so OH WELL. DO NOT USE THIS VENUE - you will be promised things and they will not follow up.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! The staff at the Waterfall was absolutely amazing and made my daughter and son-in-law's wedding day absolutely perfect! We all felt like we were treated like royalty. I cannot tell you how many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended! With 2 other younger daughters, we will definitely be back!

My wedding was 9/30/2018. It was amazing. Everything and everyone was on point. The staff was easily accessible and took good care of me! My bridal attendant was soo sweet. She was the nicest, kindest ever and helped ease my jitters. She brought me food, water, napkins and even touched up my lipgloss. Jessica stepped right in and made sure everything went smoothly. David was more than accommodating! The food was plentiful, delish and hot! I didn’t feel like I was being ‘kicked out’ at the end. They are so professional. My wedding was worth every penny! I can’t say one bad thing about this venue. I will remember this day forever!! Thanks Waterfall!

LOVED my wedding here. The place is very professional and the caterers were very nice and accommodating. The planning process was easy and a wedding planner from the waterfall walked with you every step of the way. This place caught us not only because of it's looks but because of the food package. Cocktail hour was amazing. There had to be over a hundred different foods which includes a Toscana table, 25 or more butlered apps, 3 stations, pizza and more. The food, cake, dessert (which had 6 stations), open bar, wedding planning, decorating, cleanup, gratuity and NO tax was all included in the price per person. They also got specific beers and wine we wanted at the wedding for no extra cost. I can't speak highly enough of this venue. It was elegant yet so fun. All the employees except one mean bartender (said his name was Benny) were great! You even get a personal bridal attendant for the day of who gets you anything you need. There is just too much to say about this place. I'd say go take a tour and see their packages. I'm so happy with the way my wedding turned out!

I had my wedding at The Waterfall on 9/6/2018 in the Cascade Room. Everything was BEAUTIFUL! I can't thank Rachel enough for all her help with our special day. I've gotten dozens of compliments on the food, how much there was and how good it was. Unfortunately being the bride i didn't get to eat much, but I'm happy my guests were happy. There was lots of great spots outside for pictures. I would 100% recommend this venue.

I wish I could rate this 0 stars! From the moment that we "bumped" into her until the time she left us in her upstairs office, it seemed that she did not have the time to meet with us. We had been talking with the Waterfall for a few days, without confirming a time to meet we called the office to setup a tour. The office had setup an appointment for us for 2pm on 9/2/18. When we arrived, we "bumped" into Rachel Cotton. We asked for whom we scheduled our appointment with and she said that she was going to be walking us around today. As we started to walk downstairs she asked me and my Fiance how long we had been engaged, I replied 2 years. Rachel's response was "Why did you take so long?" When she showed us the Grand room I had walked out to the dance floor, which had a white silk screen that had been laid over the dance floor. As I approached the dance floor she yelled at me as if I was her 4 year old child. There are much better ways to handle something like that. She continued to show us around with only a few other incidences. Once we completed the tour we were seated in our "sales desk" room. After pouring us some water, Rachel started a video and promptly left the room. About 15 minutes later, 10 minutes after the video had ended, she returned to the room carrying an assorted cheese and meat tray. While we started to take a few bites off the cheese tray she starts filling out her form with the basic information for her records. After we had given her our address, she commented on how our high schools were competitors of each other, and stated "your the enemy" as if we were still in high school. From what me and my fiance and also my parents thoughts were, from being with us during the whole tour, made The Waterfall an instant NO! Not to mention that the Minimum number of guests and price per person is much higher than nicer and more professional locations within the immediate area. A 15 minute drive is worth it to look at.

After my wedding was said and done I wrote a five page letter to the owner requesting my final deposit back (the lowest installment we made) because of how poor my event was executed. During my two year planning with the vendor, I had a wedding coordinator quit, no one told me until I called to file a complaint against her for no responses for almost 45 days, this just three months prior to my wedding. I made a complaint that no one communicated this change with me, but it happened again with my second coordinator. She quit just three days prior to my event, and they didn’t tell me until after the event. They managed to lose an installment check, then offered to cover my cancellation fee, but never did, until I went to the owner directly months later; even still we had to close our account and start a new one because they had no idea where they lost it. Not to mention, when the check didn’t clear my bank, I checked the status once a week and they ensured me it was deposited, it wasn’t until 6 weeks later the finance manager realized it never hit the books-I don’t see how a venue looses a check I hand delivered. I then requested to pay all future installments by card to ensure I didn’t have to open a new bank account should they lose another check, they told me I could pay with a card, but I would have to pay the 4.something percent surcharge. The evening of the rehearsal, they assumed we could rehearse in the cascade ballroom (which wasn’t even our ballroom, but it was raining), but the clients who had a wedding in there didn’t want us practicing with their decorations set up (I definitely don’t blame them), but there was a prom in the grand ballroom, so we were told to rehearse outside...in the rain. This of course was after our rehearsal started late, because valet didn’t know there was a rehearsal and told the people who arrived before us they may be in the wrong location, so they left and went to the rehearsal dinner venue. Of course, we had to wait for them to return...Despite my clear pictures and detailed plans for decorations, half of my decorations were not used, as guests were arriving they were still setting up, when my weddings were repackaged most of them were damaged, doing a final walk through through the facility I found my expensive faux flower decorations in the coat closet, etc. During the reception, the air conditioner broke, and I had several guests leave prematurely because it was unbearably hot. We were rushed upstairs to the bridal suite by staff saying the guests were going to be transitioning from the cocktail hall to the ballroom, so we cut pictures so very short, but ended up waiting upstairs an hour before they moved guests, and now have to do another photo session just to get some wedding photos. Ultimately, these were just a few of the negative experiences, and despite my detailed complaint with documented proof, the general manager stated they executed my wedding flawlessly and my request had been denied. It is still heartbreaking to know all the time and energy I put into our wedding along with my continuous communication and attention to detail, was for a less than perfect day thanks to the staff at the Waterfall. The only reason I gave them a two star was because the food was incredible (according to my guests, they took my plate before I could eat), and they do a lot of nice gestures in the beginning to welcome you (or a small bottle of champagne and a food platter when you sign your contract, etc.)

Absolutely amazing venue! Staff was very pleasant and food was really good. The views indoor and outdoor was outstanding! Perfect venue!

Greetings, This is Pamela Averette-Howard the coordinator for the Montague Wedding on 4/27/2018 I just wanted to Let Sarah Timmons and David thank you very much for everything you guys made it a Beautiful Event even by bring the wedding inside it still turned out Amazing. And thank you for all the little Extra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are the Best! Thank You, Pamela Averette-Howard "Any Occasion Party Planner"

The Waterfall was a dream come true. The staff was very organized and very accommodating to us. The cocktail hour was insane, the ballroom was gorgeous (we had our reception in the Grand), and the dessert display was outstanding. Everyone that attended could not stop raving about how awesome everything was. Nicole was great to work with. Thank you so much for making our day the best ever!!

We had our daughters wedding here Sunday 3/4/18 and I couldn't be more happy. Wedding consult, Nicole, was on top of all the preparations, making sure things ran smoothly and was very patient with my many questions. She made sure all details were taken care of. The food was abundant and everything tasted great ! Our maitre d', Ian, was absolutely fantastic !! He was our 'go to' throughout the event. He is attentive, knowledgeable and so charming.

I was married at The Waterfall in November 2017, and could not be more thrilled! This venue aims to please - from the very first visit through my wedding day, you are treated not only like their best client, but their only client. Emails and phone calls are returned so very quickly, and the staff went out of their way to make planning a breeze. Melinda, my coordinator, made no question too small nor any request too big. Truly a pleasure to work with! Not only is this venue absolutely stunning, but the food and service is unmatched. The quantity, and quality of the food, and service of the waitstaff not only floored my guests, but myself as well - and this was after a year of working with the venue. I knew they were going to do a great job, but to say it was above and beyond our highest expectations is an understatement. I am so very grateful to the staff for making our weeding so unbelievably memorable!

My daughter's wedding was just perfect. It all began with our event coordinator, Nicole, who was there for us every step of the way. No matter how many questions we asked, she answered promptly and completely-right up to the day of the wedding! The wedding was held January 6, 2018- 2 days after a major snowstorm! Everything was cleared out and the reception went off without a hitch. The staff was so accommodating and friendly the night of the event. They couldn't do enough for us. Our guests said it was the best reception they had ever attended! There seemed to be an endless supply of food and drinks. They give you so much and it is all presented beautifully. Did I mention it was delicious! And the venue itself-breathtaking. Words do not do the Waterfall and its staff justice. We would highly recommend the Waterfall to everyone as the venue of choice. They work by your side from beginning to end. Perfect!

All of my guests loved the Waterfall. Plenty of food and great drinks! Your guests will sure to leave full and happy. The venue itself is gorgeous from the outside ceremony, to the high ceiling cocktail hour, to the ballroom. I was in the Grand Ballroom and the dance floor was huge. I worked with Melinda who was very helpful throughout the planning process. My only critique was that no one was really keeping track of time during the day. I ran a bit late with the ceremony and reception, but all in a, the Waterfall made my day so perfect and special. They put out a ton of food during cocktail hour. Get the short rib ravioli, prime rib, and crab crusted scallops! Thank you so much for Melinda and the Waterfall for making my dream wedding possible. I received so many compliments from family and friends how elegant and professional the service was.
